Customer case studies
BLAIRS WINDOWS & DOORS
With over 100 years of industry experience, Blairs Windows & Doors is a leading UK supplier of timber, aluminium and PVCu windows and doors. When the company needed to replace a 36-year-old Harbs machine used for milling profiles for double casement windows, Joe Boyd, Operations Manager at Blairs Windows & Doors, conducted extensive research into the machinery market and consulted all major manufacturers.
Following discussions with IWM’s Ian Brown, the company decided on a Soukup solution – the Wizard 4L CNC machine – which was perfectly suited to their specific requirements.
TK JOINERY (BLANDFORD) LTD
Based in Dorset, TK Joinery Ltd designs, manufactures and installs a wide range of bespoke timber joinery products. To meet and maintain exacting standards, company owner Chris Owen spent several years searching for a CNC window machinery supplier that could provide the right machine, along with tooling and window software.
Seeking a complete package from a single supplier, Chris contacted IWM and was presented with the ideal solution from Soukup Machinery. The Soukup Crafter CNC Window Centre, a comprehensive three-in-one system for various UK window and door styles, offered outstanding performance. Additionally, Chris ordered the Soukup Hydraulic Frame and Sash Cramp Model FP32.21. Together, these machines have significantly improved productivity and efficiency, enabling TK Joinery Ltd to meet the growing demand for its high-quality timber windows and doors.
